Revamped volleyball league starts

In the men's competition, Police play Spartans with BDF and Mafolofolo clashing in the last match of the day.

Botswana Volleyball Federation (BVF) development officer, Mission Mereyotlhe, said they learnt a lot of lessons from last year's league and expect a better organised competition this season. Unlike last year, the league will be played over two rounds this season. Clubs have in the past complained about playing a single round arguing it does not give players enough game time. Mereyotlhe said this time, they started the league in time and thus have the chance to play reverse fixtures. The first round is expected to end in June while the second round start in September and finish in November. Victory Seekers are the new women's side, which brings the clubs in the league to 12. Mereyotlhe would not reveal the prize money but said it has slightly improved from last year.
